The mercury in Amritsar jumped from 0.8 degrees the night before to 3.5 degrees.
Hisar and Narnaul in Haryana, however, continued to reel under the biting cold, recording below normal minimums of 1.1 and 1.2 degrees, respectively.
Rajsthan continued to shiver with icy winds blowing across the state where Churu recorded the lowest minimum at 1.7 degrees, which was about 5 degrees below normal.
Fog and mist continued to affect normal life in the state even as the mercury rose slightly at many places.
About five North Western Railways trains were running late and traffic jams were observed due to the dense fog in the early hours today on the Jaipur-Delhi and the Jaipur-Agra road via Bharatpur.
